Dear All,
Since I have a powerful / vibration free (Thanks Jim!) Commando engine in my Featherbed chassis, front and rear brakes are a bit short of effectiveness, to say the least.
I consider fitting a Commando front disk brake, but I would like to keep the Dominator look, ie the headlamp and its lugs + the shrouds.
I heard that the last Featherbeds and the early Commando had "Dominator-looking" 7"3/8 yokes which would make it simpler to fit a disk brake than using my genuine 7" yokes and having to adapt a wheel + disk + caliper to that width.
Can someone confirm that those "Dominator-looking" 7"3/8 yokes exist and give me ideas about where to find them? (or ideas about other components to use)
Which change to the handling should I expect?
Many thanks
